UNCASVILLE, Conn. – Danny Sabatello might not make it look pretty, but he doesn’t seem to care.
Through the boos and jeers, Sabatello (13-1 MMA, 3-0 BMMA) remained consistently dominant against Leandro Higo (21-6 MMA, 4-4 BMMA) and cruised to a unanimous decision (49-46, 49-46, 49-46) in the Bellator 282 co-main event Friday at Mohegan Sun Arena.
Sabatello wasted no time. Like he’s done in his other Bellator appearances, Sabatello dragged Higo to the canvas and showed heavy control skills on the back. Sabatello coasted much of the rest of the round in this position – and returned to it again in Round 2. However, this time Higo reversed position and snatched Sabatello’s back – where he rode out the round.
